________________________________________

I’m not sure how long I was out. What I do know is that Jack wakes me up in a big hurry.

“Wake up, Jane. Jane! We’re not safe here anymore. Zombies have breached the fire house.”

“Whaa?”

“We have to move. Josh is priming the fire truck so we’re ready to roll. Hurry!”

We rush down the stairs. Zombies are surrounding the fire truck.

“We gotta move faster or else we’ll be screwed. C’mon! I left our bats in the truck. Mallory and John are already there.”

Still in a daze from being startled awake, I start to climb into the truck and John gives me a helping hand. Jack is right behind me and a zombie is right behind him. Jack turns around and kicks the zombie in the face before it gets any closer. He closes the door and locks it. Josh hits the button to lift the garage door. While we’re waiting, all we can hear is the sound of zombies thumping against the outside of the fire truck.

“Come on, baby!” Josh mutters to the truck as he watches the garage door opening more slowly than he’d like.

“We’re safe in the truck, right?” I question Josh.

“I’m not sure, to be honest. Since this outbreak or whatever they end up calling it, I haven’t been sure of much.” The garage door is up and Josh steps on the gas. We roar forward out of the firehouse and onto the main drag. It looks like Josh is sweating.

“Are you OK?”

“No. Not really. I’ve lost all my men. They were my family, my brothers, but don’t worry. I swear I’m going to help you as best I can.”

I touch his arm, “Jack is determined to keep us safe. Why don’t you come with us?”

“I can’t.”

“Why not?”

With one hand on the wheel, he rolls up his sleeve with the other to reveal an infected bite mark, “That’s why not.”

“One of them got me too, but with the help of alcohol, medication, and sports drinks, I’ve managed to make it this far. You can do the same.”

“No. You have limited supplies and you’re gonna need them. To top it off, you don’t know how long you’re gonna have to hold out and wait for a real rescue. Keep your supplies. Just let me help you.”

“We can’t just accept your help and not offer up anything in return.”

“There's nothing you can offer me now. You know, I loved being a firefighter...best choice I ever made in my life. Was a real bastard of a husband, and an even lousier father. But even with that starting to fall apart, I still had the job, and my team of heroic sons-a-bitches. Now that they're all gone now, all I have is getting you people to safety.”

“What happened to your team?”

“We received an emergency call about a fire. We suited up and drove over in minutes flat. We were putting out the fire and noticed people still inside the building. A few of my men went in after them. They never came out.
